Oh, what a NIIIIICE kit! I love this craft, one of my favorites. Now if only someone will build the Falcon's ship! :thumb:

Later taters!

 

[Master-Bruce]

Good god! I forgot all about him. I loved his ship too as a kid! Got any reference for his ship? I'm always looking for new ideas.

 

[tazman3]

OH Snap! It wasn't Falcon, it was Hawk...I can find a lot of pics of "him" but none of his ship...yeah, that one would be awesome!

EDIT: ok, so I did afterall...lol

Pitty. There's probably a site somewhere. I may have to look into that.

 

[tazman3]

If you craft one, I'd be happy to help you beta test...just PM me and let me know!

 

[Master-Bruce]

I'll keep that in mind thanks.

Hi is this site any use? Buck Rogers Warhawk Gallery I seem to remember Wilma and the Princess for some reason....

 

[Master-Bruce]

Ah Ha!! Nice one, thanks. May have to bump this puppy up the list now. LOL

 

[Gixergs]

Bump away good Sir bump away. Glad it was of use.

The Draconia was always my favorite ship from this series. I've also seen a 3d model of the Searcher.

OH Snap! It wasn't Falcon, it was Hawk...I can find a lot of pics of "him" but none of his ship...yeah, that one would be awesome!

I've got pics of Alfred Wong's resin build from Starship Modeler (Starship Modeler - Your Complete Information Source for Science Fiction, Fantasy and Real Space Scale Modeling). You can also search their gallery and get them.

And I LOVE that ship, more than Buck's. Granted Buck was my hero because Buck is actually my given name, but Hawk's ship just kicked butt. I liked how he could grab other ships with the talons.

I started prelim work on a mesh for Hawks ship lastnight. Nothing to show, well, worth showing yet but I'm on it.

Sorry for hijcking this Thunderhwak thread. When I have more to show on the War Hawk, I'll start a thread for it.

Wasn't the Searcher from Buck Rogers the same as one of the cruise ships from Galactica? Just repainted for use in Buck Rogers after Galactica got canceled.

Hawk blueprints

Hi all,
I just remembered that Alan Sinclair has some blueprints that he drew available on his website:
http://www.angelfire.com/scifi2/wizardofflight/

Alan graciously let me use his AutoCad Enterprise drawing as a starting place when I designed my model that is hosted by Jon Leslie. Without Alan's drawings, I doubt I could have produced a model with good proportions and detail without his work. I am very grateful for this.

Contact Alan, he may have an update for you or even provide dxf or dwg file for you. He's really a great guy to chat with.

Best Regards,
Ron Caudillo

Thanks ron. I have his plans and am basing the model on them.
